Scott Kolins isn't going anywhere. The Marvel Team-Up artist has renewed his exclusive contract with Marvel, keeping him at the company for the foreseeable future. And that future holds one of Marvel's most anticipated titles, Thor: Blood Oath.

"I'm having an absolute blast," said Kolins of his new gig. "I'm a big Thor fan and love mythology stories - which this one is steeped in. Giant eagles, trees that encompass the universe, trolls, magical weapons and arduous quests - I've been waiting my entire career for a book like this! Mike Oeming is writing some really fun stuff and Wil Quintana (EMH) is brilliantly coloring me again."

Kolins gained recognition as the long-running artist on The Flash and after going exclusive with Marvel made a notable impression with his work on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

"I had a really good time working with them for the last 2 years; why not keep that going?! In fact, I think we've only just begun to figure out the best books for me to work on, so it's wonderful to stay here at Marvel and build on top of what we've already done. I am REALLY looking forward to the next few years!"

Kolins isn't the only one jazzed about the new contract. Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort said, "Scott's really been upping his game here at Marvel, on projects like AVENGERS: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES, and THOR: BLOOD OATH, so I'm ecstatic that we're able to keep him in the fold, and expect great things from him over the next few years."

Never to allow a press release without his thoughts included, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada added, "I think it's so cool that Scott is this happy at Marvel and wanted to stay on with us. Who says this ain't the Happy Age of Marvel Comics?"
